Martin Perez labored through 4.1 innings, allowing two earned runs on five hits and three walks while striking out four in Tuesday's 7-6 win over the Giants.

Fantasy Impact

This performance continues a troubling trend for Perez, whose season ERA now sits at an inflated 4.80, coupled with a WHIP of 1.53. His inability to work deep into games, evidenced again today, and a high BABIP of .337 suggest that hitters are consistently finding ways to succeed against him. Fantasy managers should be wary, as his current form does not inspire confidence for future outings, and his strikeout rate of 7.3 K/9 limits his upside in categories that reward pitcher strikeouts.

Martin Perez struggled mightily in Wednesday's 10-2 loss to the Brewers.

Fantasy Impact

He allowed nine earned runs on 11 hits and one walk while striking out four over five innings. This performance significantly inflates his ERA to 4.86 and WHIP to 1.50 for the season, which are troubling indicators for fantasy managers. His strikeout rate remains modest at 7.2 K/9, and a high BABIP of .342 suggests some bad luck, though today's game was more about poor execution than misfortune. Given these trends, Perez's role as a reliable starter is in jeopardy, and fantasy managers should consider other options unless he shows signs of substantial improvement.
